Rosticceria L'Antico Borgo

Cisternino


A classic fornello pronto (half butcher's shop, half trattoria), this is the place for a cheerful, no-frills meat fest. The menu is brief, listing a few simple pastas and various meat options (priced per kilo), including Cisternino's celebrated bombette (skewered pork wrapped around a piece of cheese). Choose your roast meat and eat it with red wine, chips and salad.
